Watch the CPUs with htop, and the I/O with iotop and see if you can spot any bottlenecks.

I'm having trouble with mpd. About every thirty seconds it will pauses for a second them resume playing from where it paused. It's annoying and makes music unenjoyable. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

I appreciate any help. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Thanks!

# This setting specifies the user that MPD will run as. MPD should never run as

# initialization. This setting is disabled by default and MPD is run as the
# current user.
#
user "reid"
#
# This setting specifies the group that MPD will run as. If not specified
# primary group of user specified with "user" setting will be used (if set).
# This is useful if MPD needs to be a member of group such as "audio" to
# have permission to use sound card.
#
#group "nogroup"
#
# This setting sets the address for the daemon to listen on. Careful attention
# should be paid if this is assigned to anything other then the default, any.
# This setting can deny access to control of the daemon.
#
# For network
#bind_to_address "any"

# And for Unix Socket

#
# If you have a problem with your MP3s ending abruptly it is recommended that
# you set this argument to "no" to attempt to fix the problem. If this solves

# other audio outputs.

# Client TCP keep alive #######################################################
#
# For clients connected by TCP on supported platforms.
# Allows detection of dangling connections due to clients disappearing from
# the network without closing their connections.
#
# This is not usually necessary but can be useful in cases such as wifi connectected
# clients that go in and out of network range or turn off wifi without closing their
# connections. Combined with low max_connections this can soon cause clients to not
# be able to connect.
#
#
# Enable tcp keepalive on new client connections (default is "no")

#tcp_keep_alive "no"
#
# Time in seconds since the last communication on the connection and before
# the keepalive probing is started. (default is 7200 seconds)

# Interval in seconds between keepalive probes, once a probe started.
# (default is 75 seconds)
